Review on Affordable and Sturdy: Cheaplights Heavy Duty Muslin Clamps (4 1/2 inch) 6 Pack by Ashley Owens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

> FITS THE JOB

DESCRIPTION > 4 1/2" long X 3 1/2" tall X 5/8" thick > Jaws open 1 3/4" (maybe 2" "if you're not cocking), but they're probably best used for cocking a maximum thickness of about 1" > Jaw pads 5/8" x 7/8" > Tighter than pads, the inside of the jaw can accommodate round bars grip 7/8" to 1 1/4" diameter > Pads pivot so that they are parallel to each other when gripped, which (for strong clearance) distributes pressure and doesn't damage surfaces. > The pads are grooved down the center, perpendicular to the clamps, which can be helpful for gripping posts from 1/8" to 1/4". REVIEW > The clamps I received are well made and none of them are broken > I suspect the reviewers who reported they were broken overtightened them - if the jaws were over 1 inch are open, the tension is very strong. If you use them to clamp things under 1" I doubt they will break. > I will share my experience in the future. > Click on "Stoney" just below the product name to see my other reviews see, or leave a comment to ask questions.
